I look just over the top of my windshield, that height works great for me.

This baffle you speak of does anyone have a pic never heard of this.

You should always look over the windshield. I've never had any problem with buffeting, but I tend to think that it's caused by a windshield that isn't raked enough..... too straight up and down.

Great point. I realized this fall I had to adjust my sitting position to look over the winshield. I never thought much about it tho. But as old age has set in I must be shrinking. I will lower or cut my Sheild. Thanks for bringing this to the front part of my brain.
